Three Points on England’s Mind Monday

England is just two matches into Euro 2016 and it’s already been a roller-coaster ride of emotion for Roy Hodgson and company. Now, with the final group match versus Slovakia on deck Monday, a three-point haul will give The Three Lions the top seed in the group and safe passage into the next round.

The English were cruising with a 1-0 lead against Russia before conceding at the end to get just one point. Against Wales, England batted from down 1-0 to even the score before Daniel Sturridge saved the team with an injury-time goal to get all three points.

England enters Monday's group matches on top with four points while Wales and Slovakia each have three and Russia sits at the bottom with one. The English will need to put together their strongest effort thus far to secure the full three points as Slovakia has been playing strong football in the tournament.

Slovakia should not be taken lightly, however. They are coming off an impressive 2-1 win over Russia in their last game and a result here coupled with a slip-up from Wales against Russia will get them into the next round.
